Bobby Marousky Jackson County Sentinel

SNI Employee of the Month

Bobby Marousky, Jackson County Sentinel

There are people on your team you can count on, no matter what, to dig in with you during those rough times that undoubtedly occur when trying to put out a newspaper.

Robert “Bobby” Marousky is that guy in Scottsboro.

Since joining the Sentinel team as a graphic artist in December 2004, Bobby has remained steadfast in his commitment to help everyone in our building excel and to produce the best community newspaper possible.

Today, Bobby manages SNI Alabama’s graphics hub, which produces all of the advertising and marketing materials for SNI’s three Alabama newspapers. He also serves as our resident IT guy to assist Waylon and Greg on technology efforts in Alabama and pitches in to help with all three websites.

When the printing facility in Scottsboro experienced a hard-down earlier this year due to a failure of the CTP system, Bobby worked around the clock to rebuild the failed hardware and reinstall the system software to get the printing operation back up and going with minimal disruption to the three Alabama newspapers and our commercial printing customers.

That’s just one example of many where Bobby has gone above and beyond without so much as a complaint.

Outside of the office, Bobby has led the local Scouting program for several years, training area youth in responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities and educational programs. He also organizes local food drives and supports various other local volunteer organizations.

We seek the best people available for every job in our company. We still are small enough and close enough to each operation so that management of the company knows most of the people who work for us personally.

We honor the people who work with us by challenging them, by expecting a great deal of them and by rewarding their efforts well. For those who seek a challenge and who seek rewards equal to the challenge, Southern is the ideal corporate home.

There is more in this web site about the company's history and about the communities it serves. We hope you'll take the time to get to know us better. If you want to know more, we will be glad to talk to you.

Thanks again for your interest in Southern Newspapers, Inc.

Our company believes in its future.

Our newspapers are often the only local news medium serving their community. Where that is not true, we strive to be the best. In spite of what some feel about newspapers having a limited future, we believe there always will be demand for the information and service we provide -- if we do our jobs well.
For those who remain optimistic about our industry's future, Southern is the ideal corporate home.
